strategy

[heady hedge]

honestly im not sure why with the chiave hate

his not as good compared to someone like texas doesnt mean his complete dogwater

[gray stone]

Weird talent

[ancient hearth]

eh, my personal complaint about 5 stars is that a lot of the time they don't have the power jump I would expect from the resources you need to put into them compared to 4 stars; would rather just skip straight to the 6 stars, if the availability isn't a problem

[limpid siren]

that's not an uncommon sentiment

[full finch]

even considering talents
texas only has +1 net DP over chiave at M3

[steady reef]

oofie I think the whole above conversation had more mental gymnastics than I've witnessed the whole of 2022

[ancient hearth]

it's not that the 5 stars are bad, just resource sinks

[scarlet ledge]

hi drails

[gray stone]

Rare Drails appearance

[heady hedge]

omg drels big fan

[scarlet ledge]

gib me pulls for yato

[shell arch]

Wtf

Drails name is hiatus

[steady reef]

sorry permanent hiatus

[shell arch]

Did i just recommend a newbie to watch a youtuber on hiatus few days ago?

[scarlet ledge]

dies

[shell arch]

[full finch]

it's also worth mentioning that scav masteries suck ass
vs chiave M3 that gives +1 DP

[heady hedge]

xolli i tihnk the better question is why did you m3 scavenger lmao

[limpid siren]

zima still unsung

[scarlet ledge]

@shell arch here wtf isane unreal

[steady reef]

zima pretty good actually

[full finch]

skin

[scarlet ledge]

see

zima good

[heady hedge]

fair

[scarlet ledge]

[full finch]

zima is just
better than chiave in every way

[still trench]

How is Zima good

[limpid siren]

chiave missing texas' dp talent matters a lot

[ancient hearth]

zima is used outside of vanguard knights?

[limpid siren]

since that's like 90% of texas' value anyway

[scarlet ledge]

bro i use zima everyday kek

[limpid siren]

zima has seen a bunch of max risk runs

[scarlet ledge]

with siege

[limpid siren]

[gray stone]

Stat wise
She's the best 5 star vg if you leave out Flagpipe

[steady reef]

the hot take is that zima > texas for general content

[still trench]

Oh

[limpid siren]

nah

[full finch]

zima +60% ATK/DEF is nice for durability

[limpid siren]

zima wants you to run 2 vanguards

to outvalue texas

so if that's the case, then sure

[steady reef]

it's usually some vanguard + myrtle

so

[limpid siren]

but just texas is fine most of the time

[ancient hearth]

true, but well, flagpipe is flagpipe

[limpid siren]

oh

[heady hedge]

bagpipe + myrtle !!

[limpid siren]

myrtle is a literal who

[frigid tapir]

no

[full finch]

ngl I'd take blacknight before texas

0s DP moment

[steady reef]

shut up texas simp

[heady hedge]

ngl

[still trench]

I don't think high risk is a good argument to consider an operator is good or not

Also I've only seen her on CC11

[heady hedge]

i dont use blacknight that much

[steady reef]

oh wait no json is vgknights player he's a morbillion times more qualified than any of us

[full finch]

I did blacknight M6

and I use S1 more

[limpid siren]

[gray stone]

Texas gets to have instant DP skill and AoE skill

[full finch]

[limpid siren]

so true bestie!

[heady hedge]

ohh

[ancient hearth]

for a lot of content I think cantibile has further displaced the non-flagpipe vanguards

[gray stone]

CC8 before optimization iirc

[heady hedge]

my bn 80 s2m3 but i rarely use her

wait was it 80

idk

[full finch]

yeah 80

[heady hedge]

but most of the time i use texas

[limpid siren]

zima has been in a couple more

usually before optimisation

[scarlet ledge]

cc7

[full finch]

blacknight S2 is really good tho

[scarlet ledge]

cc10

[limpid siren]

because reducing dp cost of vanguards is a good effect

[full finch]

honesty shocked whenever I use it

[gray stone]

Anything works in CC7 tbh

[heady hedge]

i rather have more dp

[full finch]

because blacknight S2 actually deals decent damage

amazing

[limpid siren]

if you have 2 vanguards in the squad, zima is functionally similar to texas' dp effect

[heady hedge]

and drop down my entire 6* rarit abuse

[ancient hearth]

with or without liskarm?

[full finch]

without ofc

who uses blacknight with liskarm

[molten swan]

:clueless:

[full finch]

this isn't cc

[heady hedge]

what is this, sleep stall?

[frigid tapir]

zima's skill activates 5 seconds later than tex
bad operator

[ancient hearth]

ah, misinterpreted that

[gray stone]

Liskarm who?

[still trench]

I only know Franka

[gray stone]

Haven't touched her in general gameplay

[full finch]

if you're using lisk in general content it's for her durability
or you're batterying DPS

[scarlet ledge]

wtf

[full finch]

lisk is a good defender
afk skill and shields

[scarlet ledge]

i just use bk herself

[gray stone]

Worse Hoshiguma

[full finch]

people who don't think liskarm is durable haven't actually looked at her kit

[heady hedge]

???

[limpid siren]

i use her for s2 ty

[heady hedge]

lisk provides utility that hoshit doesnt have tho

[still trench]

She's not durable

[ancient hearth]

liskarm durability happens precisely the wrong time, most of the time

[still trench]

Ok I'll go read her kit now

[limpid siren]

her base statline is very durable

[gray stone]

Generally you don't even feel like she did anything

[still trench]

It's a joke

[shell arch]

Hey guys

I have a question

[limpid siren]

bad joke

[gray stone]

She is a good tank imma give her that

[limpid siren]

[full finch]

iirc she has more def than heavyrain

but heavyrain has like 3800 HP so idk

[shell arch]

Do you guys use liskarm facing backwards against enemies to tank more and generate sp more?

[still trench]

Hahaha everyone must laugh= good joke

[scarlet ledge]

i dont use liskarm

[heady hedge]

i use liskarm facing nowhere because shes e0 1

[full finch]

your loss

[ancient hearth]

Liskarm S1 procs most often against brawler type enemies instead of the things that actually could damage her

[turbid badge]

depends which skill lul

[scarlet ledge]

i just go to heavyrain

[turbid badge]

and what im using her for

[gray stone]

Good

[still trench]

Ok but do you actually want to use her

[limpid siren]

i mean, i don't understand why you're posting wrong statements as a joke

[surreal star]

I use Liskarm facial sideways because I’m quirky and different

[full finch]

yeah, because she's good

[limpid siren]

is the joke that you're a silly person?

[shell arch]

Don't you use her s1?

[full finch]

I use liskarm when I need an auto skill and not nian's absurd burst durability

[shell arch]

I mean do people use liskarm for dmg outside defenderknights?

[turbid badge]

yeah but i like to be quirky too and use her s2

[still trench]

Because the mods isn't here

[scarlet ledge]

ngl i just use croiss + nearl defender

i didnt even to grab my liskarm

[gray stone]

I think even Defenderknights only use her for stun and air

[surreal star]

I usually use s2 lisk

[ancient hearth]

half the stuff was doing min damage anyways, it's pretty funny at times

[heady hedge]

you see.. that makes some people want to ping the mods

[full finch]

I've considered raising croissant
she becomes very stonks with module

[limpid siren]

should i call @glad spoke back then?

[full finch]

60% dodge on skill

[heady hedge]

^^

[limpid siren]

hi critz, love your work

[latent monolith]

If you use S2 and don't activate it you get more SP

[molten swan]

def knights enjoys lisk s2's arts damage lmao

[still trench]

Nuuuuuu

[full finch]

just use an arts defender bruh

there's 4 of them

[heady hedge]

but ye best not to post wrong statements and claim its a joke esp on a help channel

[gray stone]

It's #strategy

[heady hedge]

because there will be someone eventually believing your fake statement

same shit

[full finch]

just don't misinfo
or preface it as a joke

[molten swan]

you're bold to think all 4 of them have the same cycling and damage

[gray stone]

But /j ruins the joke

[scarlet ledge]

drones monents might need cycle between lisk, asbestos

[shell arch]

Aren't #strategy used to be khold's drunk lounge anyway?

[scarlet ledge]

ahhaahah

[heady hedge]

his not here

[gray stone]

Still is

[ashen axle]

Critz isn’t online thonk

[heady hedge]

right now

[modern plover]

damn #strategy today actually cook something

[heady hedge]

ok lets ping thanik

!!

[gray stone]

Admins are asleep

[still trench]

Aren't they online tho

[gray stone]

Juno leave their Discord on 24/7

[still trench]

So their device is on 24/7?

[gray stone]

If they are away they set it to Do Not Disturb

[still trench]

Oh

[full finch]

why don't we go back to arknights-related discussion

[heady hedge]

eh, some people just has it set on dnd forever

ok

[full finch]

thoughts on croissant module

[ashen axle]

Neat

[full finch]

with p5 she gets 60% dodge on-skill iirc?

[heady hedge]

phys arts dodge?

[latent monolith]

Weak, use flametail and get 80%

[full finch]

both

[latent monolith]

Or lee and 70%

[heady hedge]

seems ok

[scarlet ledge]

hi sharath

[latent monolith]

It does sound pretty good tho srsly

[full finch]

yeah, and she's a defender

with like 3500 HP and 800 DEF

[heady hedge]

60% is still an effective... how much hp again

[full finch]

+100% DEF on skill too

[latent monolith]

Effective hp = x2.5

[full finch]

auto tho

[turbid badge]

its pretty good

[heady hedge]

ye decent

[turbid badge]

for tanking

[ashen axle]

60% is effectively 100% if u mald enough
So yea sounds good

[full finch]

wait nvm croiss S1M3 is +70% def

lisk S1 is +100%

[surreal star]

I wonder why conviction isn’t meta yet

[full finch]

but croiss S1 is 20sp for 30s

pretty good cycle

[turbid badge]

i like cross s2 with the "greatly"

[full finch]

if you count module stats
croiss has 3870 HP and 864 DEF

stronk

[turbid badge]

stronk

[fresh copper]

I'm still pretty level gated though due to just picking up welfareknights recently

[turbid badge]

ceobe s3 ignores physical dodge right?

[surreal star]

no

it silences

which can often disable dodge

but not always

[turbid badge]

oh wait yeah makes sense

[shell arch]

Can you silence phantom and andoain's fart field?

[surreal star]

i'm sure that if andoain was silenceable most people would have mentioned it

so i don't think so

[shell arch]

Wait uh

That came out wrong

How do you even silence a fart field

[frigid kite]

I guess the idea would be silencing him so no Area

Which idk either

[shell arch]

So phantom's dodge can be silencable?

[cyan gorge]

I think he's silence immune

[shell arch]

[stiff coral]

All status immune except levitate

[main halo]

Does levitate get affected by weight?

[frigid kite]

Nah, it acts like a stun

[surreal star]

yes it does

duration is halved against heavy enemies

iirc it's 3+ weight

[frigid kite]

Ah yeah

My bad

And 4 weight

[turbid badge]

kriede boss mmm

[frigid kite]

Immune

[main halo]

Took me long enough

[unique plume]

can my lv 40 surtr s3m3 beat dh-ex-8 cm following kyo guide?

[surreal star]

i mean

probably

[unique plume]

his surtr is lv 88 so idk how big of a diff it can make

[surreal star]

masteries are the most important

just try and see ig

[unique plume]

tru

[unique plume]

gj, one almost leaked at top to me on 400~ but emergency goldenglow saved the day 💀

[lethal dragon]

Chen burger bruh

[sonic willow]

Yes

Dhex8 is pretty easy

[glad spoke]

We don't want to police this channel in a draconian manner, so please don't take our absence to mean = anything goes

Yes, yes sorry🙏

[vernal lion]

heartache moment

[fresh copper]

Featuring Godssenger

[vernal lion]

damn why does beach stage in every different game look so brutal lmao

[stiff coral]

At least the galter event isnt as hard bcuz car 7*

[glass monolith]

I am speed

[elder flume]

does mint have taunt + when using skill

feels like casters shoot past her when skill use

[glass monolith]

Uh... I don't recall taunt on her skills.. or talent to begin with

[elder flume]

thats why its weird

[pure orchid]

iirc mint has less taunt level when skill is inactive

or maybe im thinking of someone else, maybe that was beeswax?

[glass monolith]

Mlynar comes with inbuilt taunt

[elder flume]

gona do some testing

is 5-3 a good stage

[glass monolith]

I changed my rotation from bed to pc chair, let me check that operator site

[vernal lion]

Mint has less taunt when skill is activated

[pure orchid]

Ok tbf i dont use mint much

[elder flume]

[elder flume]

guess thats her way of surviving

[vernal lion]

damn everything got destroyed

not really much improvement

[glass monolith]

Damn my backyard is destroyed

[vernal lion]

Crazy Dave musts be proud

[pure orchid]

Ayo i forgot we got this goofy ass pvz stage in dh-ex-4

[vernal lion]

too bad they don't have "Column Like You See Them" mini game for Arknights

[glass monolith]

Pot minigame is my favourite in PvZ

[vernal lion]

why need DEF when you just can kill all of em

actually DEF works better for ranged tile op

because they are fragile

[scarlet ledge]

kek

hi minus

[glass monolith]

If there was give res to ranged i would care

[random light]

still kazeless and plumaless. what less is next

[glass monolith]

Well i am here

I jsut won't remove Minus part

[latent monolith]

I'm still nothingless
My merchantknights is waiting

[glass monolith]

Is that you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHfd6PbUBFQ

[latent monolith]

I'm still nothingless

But maybe

[glass monolith]

I'm still EN so i refuse to read random half of each message

i don't want to pull Dorothy but if i get her i have Zalakknights ready to go

[fleet gulch]

can anyone tell me who to build between platinum and greythroat?

[eager gate]

Plat is pretty unique, while Gt has stronger alternatives in Kroos and Exu

help didn't know this so Imma ask here
Which of Eunectes mods lets her take sp from Warfarin?

[glass monolith]

Both should. Because spaghetti coding

Like you know in annihilation DP actually regens like 1 per several hours?

[eager gate]

oh, then the one we have now should be by far better, thanks

[scarlet ledge]

go build gt

[latent monolith]

Both remove sp lock when not blocking

[glass monolith]

Same shit with second Module

They just replaced "can't" with 1 SP after X hours

and called it a day

[vernal lion]

waow

[glass monolith]

You want to spawnkill 380 from there?

[vernal lion]

let see

[glass monolith]

i just realized i caused all 11 enemies of DH-9 to sink.... DeHydration-9

[eager gate]

does that sticker with +40% atk work during high tide? or is it when ele damage effect procs?

[molten swan]

Erosion is during drowning tide

[glass monolith]

Erosion stickers need your operators to be in water to work

which why i don't use them as 80% of stages don't give you condition to use them

[eager gate]

maybe it can enable me to do S-2 with AH only

[signal granite]

AH only? enough dps for those boat?

[eager gate]

2nd boat wave very scary. 1st boat won't reach Specter thanks to Glad s3, but Specter 2 might end before 3rd boat dies idk

[vernal lion]

very close there

[glass monolith]

Gladiia disappointed look at you

[vernal lion]

yes

[eager gate]

She's disappointed because she has high hopes for you
She's your asian mom in ak

It does alright
Now to try cm

[glass monolith]

Funny red boats gonna get ya

[vernal lion]

[glass monolith]

QUICK. PLAN MYRTLE

[vernal lion]

look at my DP

have to retreat lmao

[glass monolith]

That gladiia is fucking morale support

Yeet her to watch for AEir in water

[fleet gulch]

okay so i just need two common stickers left (both are from DH 2, 5 and 8)
do i farm in DH 2 or DH 8 😭

[vernal lion]

not timing issue

[glass monolith]

Or you can farm 2000 shop currency and get free missing tickets

[fleet gulch]

the one with tequila?

[glass monolith]

Well duh it is only way to gain shop currency so you will figure

[fleet gulch]

literally forgot that feature exists

[vernal lion]

GG has dealt almost 1.426.000 total dmg

HOLY SHIT

[glass monolith]

How the fuck do you even count that

[vernal lion]

memorize

[scarlet ledge]

that was fun @molten swan

[molten swan]

Kek

[tidal sedge]

I'm debating on switching out Spot for someone to help with any potential leaks if my defenders can't hold the line.

[storm current]

do you want advice or just clearing the stage?

[gleaming lodge]

a bit too late, but Gummy shouldn't be so high level compared to the rest

your squad looks capable of clear this though

[heady hedge]

e2 40 gummy is this wgt alt wtf, btw why texas s1?

[storm current]

what you want to do is stagger the slugs out so that your defender wont die in 1 hit from ice cleave

[tidal sedge]

I'm still new to the game

[tidal sedge]

I think the major issue is just timing skills and deployments for me

[scarlet ledge]

damn that squad

[gleaming lodge]

I suppose Texas is on S1 because she keeps printing DP for a while

[scarlet ledge]

you will be fine

but where is ur frd?

[tidal sedge]

frd?

[heady hedge]

i only rmb this stage the steward destroys drone lmao

[scarlet ledge]

fast redeploy

[storm current]

do you have to clear the stage right now or can you do it later, you should be doing event atm

[gleaming lodge]

there isn't much to time here though
just use a DPS skill whenever a big wave is coming and you should be good

[heady hedge]

i dont think you really need a frd here, you can use vgs to kill the spidermans n then retreat (while generating dp)

[sweet flower]

guys how to clear DH-MO-1

[heady hedge]

but ye best to have a frd

for spidermans

[gleaming lodge]

by killing all the enemies before they reach the blue box

[storm current]

go look a youtube guide for afk strat

theres no actual general strategy

cuz its long af

[sweet flower]

thanks for nothing

[scarlet ledge]

kek

[gleaming lodge]

thanks for your excessively vague question

[scarlet ledge]

hi squid

[storm current]

theres nothing much outside "block with defenders, active burst skill when boats come"

[gleaming lodge]

the map has nothing crazy going on

just kill everything

[sweet flower]

does this can clear guys

[gleaming lodge]

you could receive better advice if you gave more info (what your squad is, what you're struggling with...)

[tidal sedge]

I pull one vanguard early enough that their redeploy is ready for when spodermens waves hit, but it still struggles for me

[gleaming lodge]

use a fast-redeploy specialist like Gravel
and clear/farm the event, you'll worry about story stages later

[storm current]

change your sticker set up

[sweet flower]

what should

[storm current]

you cant get far with those

[scarlet ledge]

loli so pro

teach me play arknights!??

[storm current]

bubble shield x3
range +200atk
melee +200 def
melee + 40% def while erosion
melee erosion heal 50

most likely

[scarlet ledge]

wtf

[storm current]

you will want to isolate your ops out

cuz uh

caster does splash

[scarlet ledge]

ur top

[sweet flower]

what top

[gleaming lodge]

top lane will leak here

[scarlet ledge]

u might put chalfer on silence spot

[sweet flower]

no leak

[vernal lion]

why not put Chater in Silence spot

[scarlet ledge]

so three lane coverage

[sweet flower]

i promise

[vernal lion]

[scarlet ledge]

[storm current]

stronger enemies come in later waves

[vernal lion]

yesss

[storm current]

have fun with that

[sweet flower]

now ready to suffer

[scarlet ledge]

the boaties

[sweet flower]

myrtle can kill that caster

[supple mountain]

myrtle mvp

🙏

[vernal lion]

the problem is, there's no enemy gate

so, final wave incoming bois

[sweet flower]

i keep until i deploy all

pray for 40 sec later

[elder flume]

that myrtle gave me enlightenment

[sweet flower]

lol

and i did it

no leak 1 like 6 times

[storm current]

so do you like

have a question or just want to flex the clear for whatever reason

clearly the latter

[sweet flower]

smh no

nevermind how to pass S-4

only 1 stage left

[gleaming lodge]

that is a weird way to ask for help yeah

[sweet flower]

can i use ling for S-4 CM?

[gleaming lodge]

why do you send squad if you're already 90% done with the stage ?

[molten swan]

https://youtu.be/CMazibeXjeY

[gleaming lodge]

just send the current setup pic and we help you adjust everything

[molten swan]

Guardknights no 6*s

[sweet flower]

before i ask like 399/400 10 times lol

so i ask again

[gleaming lodge]

nice

have you seen the E0 clear ?

[molten swan]

I think I did

Involved spalt s1

[storm current]

what the fuck

[glass monolith]

Defense - 0

[storm current]

that amiya dodge 8 balls out of 10

[glass monolith]

Meanwhile my Bnuuy alter dies in 3

[sweet flower]

does this can pass S-4 CM

i ask only

[storm current]

60% dodge real

[gleaming lodge]

wut ?

[sweet flower]

stuck at the end

[gleaming lodge]

why would you take so few ops ?

[sweet flower]

use ling

actually my ops so weak

[gleaming lodge]

well, apparently that's not enough, so bring more stuff

[sweet flower]

ok thanks

[gleaming lodge]

what can I do mate ?
you literally post a half empty squad, saying you don't have enough to clear the last wave
again, no screenshot of the setup or any explanation of what is failing
so just bring more

[glass monolith]

Chen is powercreep by squirrel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQT62iMv2_Y

i just exit so i forgor
sorry

[sweet flower]

ok i will notice after this

thanks

[elder flume]

what happened to the civilian

[molten swan]

Model clip

[glass monolith]

My current speedrun of DH-9 is 45.1 seconds

[lethal dragon]

Whel

[glass monolith]

I just so happens to have luck to end up with exact tool to resolve current issue

and then suck dick at DH-MO-1 by having only 1 caster in roster

[whole crater]

U need casters for that?

[glass monolith]

Well Heavyrain asked 12 boats "why are you gay?" it didn't stop them

or how many enemy boats are even in 382 wave?

I know part of 21 enemies is trash at bottom left

[whole crater]

Can't u just chalter it or something idk

[somber falcon]

Iirc 7 or 8 boats?

[glass monolith]

I can't chalter if i refuse to use chalter

[whole crater]

I keep failing the anni bc I fall asleep halfway through unironically

[somber falcon]

Def 6 in mid tho

[glass monolith]

how it even can be 6-8 if initial wave of 382 is 5 sailor boat and 5 caster boat

[somber falcon]

Probably misremembered then

[signal granite]

6 sailor boats and 4 caster boats at 382 wave at start,
And 2 more caster boats appeared while start movement
1 caster boat and 2 sailor boats after that

[proud drift]

Huh i can’t seem to find thanik’s post - I finished farming the shop, is there any value in farming the “infinite” stuff

[molten swan]

#event-info is dead

math crunchers forgor to crunch math so we're going into this thing with only #help and yt videos

[supple mountain]

wtf it fucking died

the cert commands haven't been updated aswell time to wait

[lethal dragon]

😭

[sharp mango]

U guys actually see #event-info ?

I pretty sure everytime I see that it is just blank

[glass monolith]

Wait fuck wrong faq

[sharp mango]

I almost lappdumb u

[whole crater]

Man I didn't know ranged stickers were bait this whole time

I failed anni stage like 5 times

When I could've just taken 5 melee stickers and literally just afked

[brazen nest]

Man I am struggling on DH-S-1 after the second round of floating jet skis

[whole crater]

I'm pretty sure melantha + any healer can take left side casters

[brazen nest]

It's the one on the right that fucks me up

[cyan gorge]

I used Exu + Warf

[brazen nest]

I hot swap defenders so it targets cuora, but ends up killing her before it comes around the center, so then it goes and kills my healer

[whole crater]

Just use gravel to bait

[brazen nest]

Yeah lemme just put my gravel down in the water lol

[whole crater]

Cuora having high def doesn't do anything

[tame pond]

i didnt even get past the first lol

[whole crater]

Place it before

Or like

Use mousse

[brazen nest]

Then the shield goes away

[whole crater]

Cuora def doesn't do anything

Use anyone with res

Guardmiya

[cyan gorge]

use anyone with high hp

[whole crater]

Either works

[tame pond]

aurora?

[brazen nest]

Oh cause the jet ski dudes are arts dmg right

[cyan gorge]

If she can kill them, then yeah

[whole crater]

Yea and there's no point using defenders for that stage anyway

U have -1 block

[brazen nest]

I've beaten the stage, but I let one guy through so now im just trying to 3*

[whole crater]

Don't complete stages if u leak

Waste of sanity

[brazen nest]

Was right at the end

[whole crater]

Better to try again with -1

[glass monolith]

If you complete stage not 3 star it is just delayed lost of "Stage cost" sanity instead 1 sanity from leaving

[brazen nest]

Yeah, I know guys

[glass monolith]

Because one day you WILL return for that 1

[whole crater]

Unless birb stage

[cyan gorge]

My S-1 strat was weird and needed 4 vgs to pull off

[brazen nest]

I'm bringing 3 vgs and gravel

[whole crater]

Bringing 4 vg is normal for me so I didn't rlly mind

[cyan gorge]

The problem was I needed to get 7 ops down, including some with 25+ dp before the first tide

[whole crater]

Just use vgs to block

[brazen nest]

My comp

[cyan gorge]

It wasn't blocking ops

[whole crater]

I brought flametail and she held the lane the whole stage

[tame pond]

for what stage

[brazen nest]

https://krooster.com/u/MiniFox

S-1

[tame pond]

i need a strat for dh-6 💀

[cyan gorge]

Passenger borrow saved my S-1 clear

[whole crater]

U can borrow ng if u still struggle with casters

[brazen nest]

Ng?

[whole crater]

Nightingale

[cyan gorge]

Nightingale

[whole crater]

And also bring a caster

They're p good for this event

[tame pond]

godly woman

[brazen nest]

Caster swap for kroos

Where/when to deploy Ng?

I'm fine borrowing cause not gonna auto the stage

[whole crater]

Keep kroos remove gavi/blaze

Use ng as ur multi target medic

She gives res to all allies in range

[cyan gorge]

I don't think casters can even kill an E1 max Melantha with a medic

[brazen nest]

Gavi/blaze both hold left and right chokes

[whole crater]

So pretty handy

Just use ur defenders

Those 2 have like the same identity

Or u can remove gravel

Removing perfumer can work too since ur borrowing ng

[brazen nest]

Gavi blaze

Defender above right exit

[brazen nest]

High HP?

[cyan gorge]

I did this for dh-6, but every op is replaceable

[whole crater]

Yea it doesn't rlly matter where u place them bc as long as u kill boats with surtr stage is rlly easy

[cyan gorge]

2.5k hp iirc

[brazen nest]

I can kill botes with surtr, the rest I'm having a problem with

If I swap either gavi or blaze, what am I swapping to

A high HP defender?

For either of those two red circled spots

[whole crater]

U alr have 2 defenders

Just keep them and u can prob remove gravel

[brazen nest]

So defenders there instead, and then what above the stairs

Gavi or blaze I'm guessing?

[whole crater]

Defender, vg, guard

My flametail was full hp the entire time there so it shouldn't be that bad

[brazen nest]

Oh vg gets nuked instantly by the dudes with anchors, no?

I don't have many high HP vg

[whole crater]

Then just use cuora there

[brazen nest]

Now we're just saying use my original strat lol

[whole crater]

Yea I said to borrow ng tho

[brazen nest]

Swap perfumer?

Oh borrow

Derp

[whole crater]

And swap perfumer for caster

Just for this stage

[brazen nest]

Aight

Lemme give that a shot

Single target I assume

[whole crater]

Yep

Click if u don't have gg or eyja or rockrock

[brazen nest]

I can swap cuora for gummy. 2k HP vs 2.2k

I've got GG

Who to use the caster on? The jet skis?

[whole crater]

Cuora better bc ur going to be tanking dockworkers

[cyan gorge]

Melantha can do it

[whole crater]

No just put castee facing right below the right stairs

[brazen nest]

Did you just stick them all inside the inner ring? What's your opening like?

I assume surtr + vg

[cyan gorge]

Myrtle, Canta down for dp then pioneer and Gummy for blocking

[brazen nest]

Wait did she solo + ansel?

Mel

[cyan gorge]

yes

[brazen nest]

Damn. Well my Mel is e0-1 tho so

[cyan gorge]

[whole crater]

U can use matoi prov

Prob

[brazen nest]

Who

[whole crater]

Base slave

[brazen nest]

I don't think I have em

[whole crater]

4* op

Guard

[brazen nest]

Still prob not

Only 3 months player

[whole crater]

Most people get her within first 10 roll

[brazen nest]

I will look

[whole crater]

If u raised base slaves u prob have her raised

[brazen nest]

Oh matoimaru?

[whole crater]

Blaze/Gavin should be fine either way

Ya

[brazen nest]

Yeah I have her e1-1

[whole crater]

Just use blaze

[brazen nest]

Ok I'll try holding that choke there instead of after they cross the stairs

Appreciate the help folks, btw

[whole crater]

If ur medic is below the stairs

U can place above the stairs

Gives u more time for dp

[brazen nest]

I did it like that, yeah

Blaze dies

I did blaze + medic + kroos

[whole crater]

Not sure what blaze hp is at e1 but try matoi ig

Like e1 30 or 50

[cyan gorge]

Mel worked cause 2.75k hp go brrr

[brazen nest]

1909

[cyan gorge]

[brazen nest]

Lemme see if I can push Mel to e1-50

Schweet

Would talent rank 4 be enough or should I go higher

[cyan gorge]

as high as possible

7 should be easy

[brazen nest]

I got cucked by e2 skill books. Thanks the rest of my squad lol

[cyan gorge]

4 should be enough I think

[brazen nest]

There. Now skill 7

Just had to make some from the workshop

[cyan gorge]

even though I used her skill, there was plenty of time between caster spawns

[brazen nest]

It's a nice change of pace to level a 3 * again after transitioning to e-2 ing 6*s lol

Holy mother of 2.7k hp

Imagine if she had a skill that scaled atk off her hp

Okay I'll give this a shot. Thanks folks

[cyan gorge]

Do you even need NG anymore?

[brazen nest]

For the right/center?

[cyan gorge]

there's only one caster

[brazen nest]

And he blows my back out

[cyan gorge]

Blemi should tank it

[brazen nest]

So cuora first, blemi swap in

[cyan gorge]

that should work I think

maybe after the last wave of dockworker boats die

cause idk if E1 blemi can tank those

also use Myrtle S1

[brazen nest]

Tank what, the dockworkers?

[cyan gorge]

yeah

[brazen nest]

Nah she can handle em

She was my opener previously

I say as I hide her dying behind me

[brazen nest]

Myrtle s1 over s2?

Whoops forgot ping

My b

[cyan gorge]

I don't mind for questions

[surreal star]

myrtle s2 is really rare

[cyan gorge]

yeah S1 for faster dp

[brazen nest]

Woah really

Okay I've been using s2 the whole time

It's s1 or s3 ig huh

[surreal star]

s2 users exist among 6*s

[cyan gorge]

16 dp over 16 seconds
vs
14 dp over 8 seconds

[brazen nest]

I guess I just didn't do simple math

[latent monolith]

That is ignoring the sp cost tho

[surreal star]

s2 dp gen isn't that bad iirc

but it's worse+has worse initial sp

[cyan gorge]

Still S1 better for getting ops out faster

[surreal star]

ye

[brazen nest]

Maybe swapping blaze out for mel, I won't have to use canta

Turn my brain off a little more

[brazen nest]

Oh for fucks sake. I let the very last dockworker through

Guess I didn't have enough damage to kill him before he stunned

[wary wing]

wheres your lappland?

[brazen nest]

I'll toss her in.

Instead of.... Kroos maybe

[wary wing]

kroos does negative damage

[cyan gorge]

Just put Lapp behind your defender to silence the stuns

[brazen nest]

Mhmm

[vital smelt]

Pls suggest how to place my ops
-I mostly leak 1-2 in the 382 afterwards wave
-In middle also my ops die, i used warf s1 and ptilo as healers, ptilo dies first and then units near her, during most boat rushes

-My best was 399/400 and i leaked the uppermost boat
-but when i tried to put defender to cover upper lane better, i am doing worse... So idk what to do

[cyan gorge]

you need a 3rd defender

[vital smelt]

I did try using gummy tbh
She is fine

[cyan gorge]

You can try borrowing Ifrit for top lane to help Gummy

Mud and Saria can handle middle with Eyja S2

[vital smelt]

Can u pls mark the locations on the map

[tidal sedge]

6-16 is hell

[cyan gorge]

My mouse writing is terrible

[vital smelt]

I cant say for sure, but ig pozy might help u a lot

[vital smelt]

Um, oh ic
And the rest deployment space i can fill with any dps units right

[cyan gorge]

yeah

you also might need to shuffle your stickers

[tidal sedge]

Oh really
I've been trying with Exu but it fails,gotta try with Pozy this time

[vital smelt]

Pozy kills phase 1 in like literally nothing
Phase 2 requires some bait work tbh

[vital smelt]

Oh, for that i am using kyo hogh end squad stickers
It has 50 elemental heal for each type of op and ops doing 200% extra dmg

[tidal sedge]

I got Gravel and Melantha for that

[vital smelt]

That is fine?

[craggy turret]

DS-MO-1? I can get to the last wave just fine, then everything goes to hell

[cyan gorge]

You need a 3rd defender

[vital smelt]

Oh, gL
Pls tell me how it went

[craggy turret]

I have spot?

And noir ig

[tidal sedge]

Definitely.

[cyan gorge]

Spot should work

[craggy turret]

Asbestos

[cyan gorge]

Ifrit can cover a lane

[vital smelt]

I cant really suggest how i did it myself cuz... I did unga bunga bullshit go and it worked

[craggy turret]

Actually, here's my krooster

https://krooster.com/u/monmonez

[vital smelt]

P stands for pozy right

[cyan gorge]

Ptilopsis

[tame pond]

what the

[cyan gorge]

Just spawncamp

[vital smelt]

Wait uh, ptilo wont be helping much there tbh

[brazen nest]

[cyan gorge]

you said your defenders were dying

well it doesn't really matter

[brazen nest]

now for S-2

[cyan gorge]

Pozy can work there too

[brazen nest]

i really should just farm the normal stages, shouldnt I

[cyan gorge]

only if you don't have all the stickers

[brazen nest]

yeah i dont have all the stickers

[cyan gorge]

then get back to farming

[brazen nest]

i was trying to get more of chen honors

[cyan gorge]

DH7/8/9 drop different stickers so you need to rotate all 3

[brazen nest]

i think i got all from dh-9?

[vital smelt]

Oh, and any suggestion for warfarin as healer location?

[glass monolith]

no there are 3 sticker pools which rotate between stages

[brazen nest]

read my sentence again

[craggy turret]

Any ideas?

[brazen nest]

oh im missing one from dh-9

[vital smelt]

Atb

[brazen nest]

oh im missing like 4 from dh-9

[cyan gorge]

@craggy turret You can do something like this
G = Gummy (or Spot)
I = Ifrit
P = any medic
E = Eyja
S = any defender
M = any defender

the rest is up to you

[vital smelt]

Oh

Ig i go and try, will tell if i succeed
Thanks for the help

[ancient hearth]

Got any Centurians built?

In my successful run my 3 blocks were mudrock, an E1 liskarm, and mudrock

[cyan gorge]

2 Mudrocks

[craggy turret]

Nope

I do have gavalter but she's unbuilt

[cyan gorge]

Centurians only have 3 block at E2

[ancient hearth]

hm, so your best 3 blocks are blemi, hoshi, and og nearl it seems

might want to do a caster heavy strat

or borrow a chalter

[brazen nest]

Thanks for the help zenith

Mvp was actually nightingale's bird cages distracting the jet ski caster on the right

Dw, I went back to farming the normal stages

[burnt pine]

@worthy ermine can u show ur team that u did with the anni 1 ?

[ancient hearth]

you can try something like this with borrowed chalter; lappland placed last after myrtle has given you the DP you need but she is replaceable, she's only there to disable the stun ability of the dockworkers and the explosive boats; SA and Surter as the last members; at 382 drop SA at E10 to try to burst down as many as they can, can replace ptilopsis with nigthingale so you can protect him with a cage

you would need to pay attention to hoshi's health though, only having honeyberry as a healer is iffy, but without E2 centurians you need more arts damage and that means less healers

if you have enough stickers that corrosion damage isn't an issue, you can replace Honeyberry with a better healer

[worthy ermine]

i used this but levelled vigra a bit and lapp

right now i feel like swire and perfumer do the heavy lifting

i place swire behind beagle and it works wonders

[burnt pine]

i see yeah this team is lacking a little bit for the anni 1

[worthy ermine]

i mostly struggle with the top lane

no healer, noir dies and not enough damage

[burnt pine]

yeah that top lane is shaw specialty
there is a hole in there

[worthy ermine]

i used red for the hole

lapp behind noir

since her range is op

[cyan gorge]

Shaw better tho

[burnt pine]

didn't get spot from recruitment yet ?

[worthy ermine]

i dont have shaw levelled

[cyan gorge]

push into hole is instant death

[burnt pine]

she works at lvl 1 skill level 4

[cyan gorge]

you just need her skill at level 4 i believe

the rest is afk

[worthy ermine]

wont she just die

if she's lvl 1

what does shaw do

[burnt pine]

she has 1k HP and u won't leave her without a healer
also she will be not defending the lane she will push the enemy in the holes

[worthy ermine]

i only have 1 healer bro

[burnt pine]

u have to use spot to defend the lane

[burnt pine]

u don't use recruitment ?

[cyan gorge]

Isn't Ansel free?

[worthy ermine]

i mean i do have the uhh

free ones

but not levelled

i only have perfumer levelled

im waiting to get a better one so i can use both

[cyan gorge]

Ansel is good tho

[burnt pine]

no u just can work with ansel for the top lane

[worthy ermine]

ansel has aoe healing?

[burnt pine]

aoe healing isn't good most of the time

[glass monolith]

Sir i will slap you with my Ptilo

[cyan gorge]

he has better range and stronger heals

[worthy ermine]

ill level ansel then

[burnt pine]

ptilo has more than heals ok ?

[burnt pine]

yeah and another single target healer which will be no one other than hibi 🌺

[worthy ermine]

why would i need 3 healers

[surreal star]

I’d rather just use perf+ansel

[cyan gorge]

ST and aoe medics both have uses but two medics are always better than one this early on

[full finch]

if you're leveling up ansel then hibiscus is literally pointless

[surreal star]

Imo aoe medics are better than st, only considering their traits/stats

[cyan gorge]

but have more restrictive range

[surreal star]

True

[lapis hornet]

they have the same coverage

[surreal star]

It’s always good to have at least 1 st medic built

[lapis hornet]

last time I used a st medic that's not warf was like

sometime before ww2

[cyan gorge]

Warf is the best ST medic imo

you really don't need anything else

[full finch]

best is a very strong statement
and many people will disagree with you

[burnt pine]

k guys chill with ur medics competition

we are here to help cot

[cyan gorge]

I have my opinion, you have yours
I don't expect anyone to share mine

[surreal star]

Chill is never an option

[burnt pine]

@worthy ermine did u get the picture of what to do for the top lane ?
i think noire corne can't hold the lane past 350 not sure about this because i remember me using spot and barely managing it

[worthy ermine]

he cant

not without a healer

[burnt pine]

so u didn't get the picture yet

[worthy ermine]

i did

put Chaw in the little opening between top lane and middle

[burnt pine]

this is the top lane right ?

[worthy ermine]

yea

[burnt pine]

do u see the 2 ranged tiles ? that is shaw near the red box and the healer faced right in the tile behind it

[worthy ermine]

so do i not place any other units top lane? they all get pushed?

[lapis hornet]

wait are you doing anni1 with e0 team

[worthy ermine]

yes

i managed to get 325/400

[ancient hearth]

FYI this is what I ended up with the successful run; honeyberry retreated and surtr deployed at H7 facing down once I hit 382

[lapis hornet]

for a more comfortable clear I'd suggest you start e1ing part of your team at least

[worthy ermine]

i e1'd lapp

[lapis hornet]

e0 isn't impossible but it's kinda pain if you don't know what you're doing

[worthy ermine]

which allowed me to use a level 80 surtr

[burnt pine]

might be hella tough but most of them are high rarity
i think e1 exu will make it a breeze especially in the last phase

[lapis hornet]

what does e1 surtr do?!?!

[worthy ermine]

e1 exu is too expensive

[lapis hornet]

borrow a blaze or something

[full finch]

E1 surtr has S2

[worthy ermine]

idk i just chose whatever tbh

[ancient hearth]

E1 surtr is a decent unit with S2 but isn't really a lane holder

[cyan gorge]

Surt S2 isn't bad tho

[ancient hearth]

better off borrowing an E1 Gavialter or some other centurian

[burnt pine]

if u want to hold the lane early game there is nothing to go wrong about picking mountain

[ancient hearth]

if he's making it to 300+ the early game isn't the problem

[worthy ermine]

i put her in a way where beagle holds the enemies in one square and place surtr to hit everyone in that square

[burnt pine]

early game means not having e2 yet
for me at least

[worthy ermine]

early game means i started yesterday

[ancient hearth]

I meant early game as in the early minutes of an annihlation run

[worthy ermine]

[lapis hornet]

you're mostly statchecked just take it slow

325 is still some ways from 400

[worthy ermine]

oh i also need a caster for 2-x and my only caster is uhh, i forgot her name, bunny girl

amiya

[ancient hearth]

if the max he can borrow is an E1 and he can make it past 100 atm, then handling the early rush isn't the issue; borrowing a gavialter probably answers what is ending the run better than mountain

[full finch]

the first 3 annihilations really like to spam casters at the end

[burnt pine]

even with 325 u can get a good amount of

[worthy ermine]

casters do too much damage bro

thats how i die

[ancient hearth]

they're not killing you too fast, you're killing them too slow

[sharp mango]

[worthy ermine]

i got 1200/1200 already, im talking about gold certificates from the rest

[burnt pine]

that is why i told u to ignore perfumer but weeboo told u otherwise
u need perfumer to be close to ur characters that way the caster will hit u all

[worthy ermine]

i feel like i shouldnt miss out on them

[ancient hearth]

they'll still be there, you can come back when your core team is stronger

[full finch]

that's false
you can definitely place E0 perf in a way that they're not adjacent

[worthy ermine]

wait so it doesnt reset weekly?

ok forget it

[burnt pine]

u want yellow cert to reset ? that will be izi game noobs

[ancient hearth]

the progression rewards don't

it's the red candies that do

[worthy ermine]

im trying to not miss out on much

[burnt pine]

it is one time only reward per account same as integrated strategy

[worthy ermine]

i cleared most of the event shop

i cant get past the 5th stage tho

4th was 2*

[burnt pine]

the only thing that u don't want to miss weekly are the missions and that gauge and not the one time only

[worthy ermine]

i did my weeklies and dailies

[burnt pine]

now u only need to know which characters to prioritize to e1

[worthy ermine]

and got the

[burnt pine]

the issue that u fell into is having so many high rarities

[worthy ermine]

lapp(done)>swire>exu?

[burnt pine]

high rarities will require having chips

[worthy ermine]

exu should be priority but too expensive

[surreal star]

Ignore swire

[worthy ermine]

she hits hard tho

and 2 range

[surreal star]

She sucks

[burnt pine]

focusing on gitano is way better

[ancient hearth]

also, where myrtle?

or have you not gotten her yet?

[worthy ermine]

i probably did but idk

[full finch]

doesn't need myrtle

[ancient hearth]

not at the moment no, but eventually yes

exu needs her buff target /s

[burnt pine]

so ur team will be ansel shaw + defender like spot
then beagle gitano exu kroos perfumer if u know how to place her ask weebo for it
vigna courier amiya

also u need a laneholder at 350 i used melantha back then but it was kinda sketchy

[ancient hearth]

do you have popukar?

[burnt pine]

with lvl 45 jessica i wan't able to kill the big dude so i had to e1 her

[worthy ermine]

gitano? isnt she kinda eh

[full finch]

gitano is actually fairly decent, but she's usually passed over for lava since lava is cheaper
and splash casters fall off pretty fast

[lapis hornet]

still better than swire

[worthy ermine]

why is swire bad tho, her damage is better than the rest of my team

[ancient hearth]

gitano is still probalby going to be useful for annihlation 3 when he attempts it

[lapis hornet]

meh gitano cheese for anni3 is kinda 2020

[full finch]

swire has poor damage and extremely terrible skill cycles
and when her skills are active, they suck

[ancient hearth]

well, this is on the assumption he has nothing better when that time comes

[worthy ermine]

i do need a caster for story anyway

amiya is my only one

[ancient hearth]

you work with what you have

[burnt pine]

u will get steward sooner or later from recruit

[worthy ermine]

i do have steward

[cyan gorge]

There are times where you'll need arts damage

[burnt pine]

why u said only

[worthy ermine]

e1 lapp does arts dmg no?

[worthy ermine]

only levelled

[cyan gorge]

Her S2 but only with skill active

[worthy ermine]

i could always borrow casters tbh

im on 2-4 rn

[ancient hearth]

E1 Lapp without masteries is a bit unreliable to get S2 online when you need it

[cyan gorge]

Steward is cheap to raise tho

[burnt pine]

borrowing mountain is miles better

[worthy ermine]

why mountain

what he do

[surreal star]

Good e1 carry

[cyan gorge]

He punch

[burnt pine]

he soloes early game

[surreal star]

Two block with self sustain

[ancient hearth]

with S2 he blocks 2, hits 2, and regenerates faster than most things can damage him pre chapter 5

[worthy ermine]

ic

[ancient hearth]

though I'm pretty sure that depending on level taking on 2 red spiders will still kill him

[burnt pine]

that is when lappland shines

[ancient hearth]

yeah, just park the lappland behind him

[worthy ermine]

i place beagle then swire behind beagle then lapp behind swire

real

[cinder raft]

Who would be great to build out of the six stars im pretty good all around but bored with nothing to do other than the event

[full finch]

cantabile

[lapis hornet]

canta six star real

[cyan gorge]

Canta more worth than anything else here tbh

[burnt pine]

this doesn't make much of a sense TBH

[lapis hornet]

mizuki's kinda fun to play with? kinda?

some people love lumen I'm still not sure why but maybe you will to

[worthy ermine]

it doesnt but swire and lapp can both hit the enemy

[burnt pine]

?

[worthy ermine]

i usually put lapp on top lane so move b and s one to the right

and then perfumer above the b in the picture

[burnt pine]

oh top lane i see

[worthy ermine]

su=surtr
ex:exusiai

thats what i used for the 325 run

[lapis hornet]

there's casters near the end the ones that hit in a cross
